Please explain this comment. Air is a gas, and from what I learned in grade school, gases are compressable. Liquid, on the other hand, is not. This is, to my under standing, why engines can compress air for combustion, but they tend to bend rods when trying to compress water from some moron trying to scuba dive his new car in the local flooded neighborhood.

what does this have to do with water pumps? well, if you had a positive pump ( like an oil pump) driving the coolant, it would simply force its way past the thermostat and you would not be able to control the coolant temperature.

Turbo chargers and superchargers are NOT positive pumps ( such as an air compressor), they are centrifical pumps, they move and organize the air , but the air refuses to compress until after it is in the cylinder

Just clap your hands together, what do you hear? the noise you hear is the air escaping from your hands trying to compress air that refuses to be compressed

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.
